Awkward - MTV, 10pm & 10.30pm

MISSING Glee? This will be a nice comedy fix for you.

MISSING Glee? This will be a nice comedy fix for you. Think Juno meets Glee minus the music but with the strange counsellor and bitchy cheerleaders. And perhaps a bit of How I Met Your Mother humour thrown in.

It centres around social misfit teenager Jenna Hamilton, whose popularity goes from zero to hero when a Final Destination-type accident leads everybody to believe she tried to kill herself.

With a neck brace and her left arm in plaster, the former invisible girl is suddenly “that girl”.

In a world where mean teens reign supreme, it’s a bizarre ­situation to find herself in. But rather than allow the stigma to swallow her whole, she embraces her notoriety and gives the school bitches a metaphorical slap down. Yay! Go the underdog!

Things get off to a flying start with tonight’s double bill. The warm, witty comedy will, like Glee, appeal to a wider audience than the MTV crowd it’s aimed at.

So, I don’t have to feel too ashamed to say this is my new guilty pleasure.
